Joe Deal often found his picture at the border between the built and unbuilt landscape. The driveway makes for a convenient spot to fly a kite, surrounded as it is here with a bit of open space remaining in a new development. In the distance to the right the residential growth that will soon cover this piece of land is visible through the atmospheric smog. In the distance to the left are still untouched hills. The inclusion of people—evidence of a rapidly exploding community near the intersection of the Pomona and Orange freeways—marked a shift in Deal’s photography to embracing the landscape as a site for narrative.
